Good Day All,
I have a negative binomial model which I have developed using the MASS
library. I now would like to develop some predictions from it.
Running the predict.glm (stats library) using type="response" gives me a
non-integer value which was rather puzzling. I would like to confirm
that this is actually the mean predicted value of the probability mass
function as opposed to the most likely value. I am afraid that reading
the help file for predict.glm either does not state this or I don't
understand what it states (which of course could always be the case)
Given that this is a negative binomial model, the mean is often times to
the right of the most likely value, so I'd like to ask how one would go
about predicting the most likely value.
Thanks in advance !
